"Raoul?" a voice calls down the halls of the mansion. Raoul, who is protectively cradling his wife looks up happily.
"Who's that?" Christine asks.
"Thats my sister!" Raoul says jumping up and running for the hall. Looking left then right he screams,"Amy!"
"Raoul!" The girl screams once more and runs for him. Opening his arms he watches as she runs towards him, then finally jumps into his awaiting arms. The two laugh as he spins her around. Christine walks to the threshold of the door and watches Raoul spin his younger sister around. Long straight dark brown hair flies out of her half pinned up hair, around her face and her blue-green mosaic eyes flash with delight as her brother embraces her. Vaguely Christine remembers the girl from when she was child and friends with Raoul.
"How are you? Where've you been?" Raoul questions placing Amy on her feet.
"Woah, one question at a time!" she says smiling.
"Fine, how are you?" Raoul asks.
"I'm great, though its been far too long big brother," Amy says hugging Raoul.
"Indeed, where've you been?" He asks.
"I should ask you the same thing!" Amy retorts placing her hands on her hips.
"I've been here, at the estate and in Paris!" Raoul says as if Amy should already know this.
"Well i've been here at the estate for a few days and have yet to catch sight of you! But...i have been...preoccupied in England," Amy says rubbing her arm.
"Preoccupied?" Raoul says raising his eye brow.
"You know, schools and stuff," Amy says.
Raoul laughs,"You never did like schooling!"
"No," Amy chuckles lightly. Suddenly her gaze shifts to the girl standing in the doorway. "Oh!" Amy says surprised,"Would you like to introduce me to your friend?"
Raoul looks over at Christine and jumps,"OH! How rude of me, this is Christine Daae, remember...when we were children we were playmates!" Raoul says taking Christine in his arms.
"Christine..." Amy says to herself,"It sounds very familiar...OH! CHRISTINE!" Amy says in realization. Christine smiles and nods. "How are you? Why are you here? How did you two reunite?" Amy fires out many questions. Christine opens her mouth, but isn't sure of which question to answer first.
"Why don't we discuss this over dinner?" Raoul suggests. He offers Christine his arm and this other arm to Amy. They both take his arm giggling and make their way to the dining hall. Through the course of dinner Raoul explains to Amy that they had reunited at the Opera house. Raoul and Christine both silently agreed that they would not tell Amy about the Phantom and their wild adventures.
"Wow, how fairytaleish," Amy says taking a bite of her dinner. "Well when did you get married?" Amy asks,"And why did you not tell me? I would have come!"
Raoul and Christine look guiltily at eachother then with appologies they explain that there was a series of terrible accidents caused by a madman at the Opera House. After all that Raoul never wanted to be apart from Christine so they had married at once. After hearing about the chandlier crash and the aweful fire that proceeded it Amy meerily stares at the two in disbelief.
"WOW, thats amazing and romantic! I guess i can forgive you for marrying without me, but what of the madman? did they catch him? did he die? did he-" But she is cut off when there is a loud clattering from the kitchen. Raoul immediately stands, as if ready to fight when a servant comes out and appologizes for the disturbance. Christine, who is now standing as well, goes to Raoul and tries to calm him by rubbing her hands over his chest. Amy dismisses the servant and looks back to the two.
"Are you guys okay?" Amy asks concerned.
"Yes, but if you don't mind i would like to steal your brother for a second," Christine asks smiling.
"He's your husband!" Amy says taking a sip of her soup.
Christine leads Raoul from the room and as soon as Raoul shuts the doors to the dining room Christine begins to rant. "We can never tell her of Erik! She must never know! It was wrong to tell her that there was even a madman!" Christine says.
Raoul motions for her to be quiet,"Amy might hear you."
"Sorry," Christine sighs. Raoul walks over to her and rubs her arms lovingly. "Raoul, was it wrong to send the mob away from the course to Erik's lair...they might have found him and taken him away. Locked him away!"
"Christine, i dont think after what happened Erik he will do anything. I doubt he is even in Paris!" Raoul says smiling trying to reassure Christine with their decision.
"We just...left him there..." Christine says.
"He let us go, in a way...he forgave us. He loved you enough to let you go, now can we forget him and have a pleasant evening. We shall never speak of the monster around Amy...for both our sakes" Raoul says. Christine smiles and the two rejoin Amy in the dining room.
